Grinders and Shredders for Pet Food Processing Size Reduction

Pet food processing plants use industrial shredders as a pre-breaker for raw materials such as frozen blocks, thawed proteins, bone, and fruits and vegetables. Our powerful line of SHRED grinders effortlessly grinds up the toughest materials.

Industrial shredders can also be used to reduce, reuse, or recycle. Reducing waste volume means minimizing transportation haul-away costs. Processing plants can also repurpose waste for sustainable solutions such as composting, digestion, or biogas production, ultimately minimizing carbon footprint.

JWC Monster Industrial customizes its low-speed dual-shafted grinders for your exact needs.

  • A variety of cutting chamber openings and specialized cutter configurations are available to meet your particle size requirements
  • A unique, split cutter stack design option allows for coarse and fine grinding with a single unit
  • Custom-designed hoppers and stands with built-in safety features
  • Monster Industrial designs solutions to meet your environment’s requirements, including washdown duty motors and stainless shredder configurations
